Wink Primewell Tires??

I am in need of 4 rear tires on my Dually.

I put Firestone Transforce on the front about 6 months ago.

I am wondering about the Primewells that Firestone seems to sell.

Are they a private label Firestone tire?

Why can they offer a 50k mileage warranty and NO mileage warranty on the Transforce.

I am not as particular on the rear as the fronts....or should I be??

Comments??

Cab, i cant speak for the warranty available, but i wrapped a set of those tires on the rears, about 2yrs ago. All was great/tread burnt evenly..etc, up until this past summer, when i got the edge of a dock, unloading the boat. Cut the sidewall. Anyway, got back, hit up Firestone, and whatcha know, with what was left on warranty, i was able to get 2 NEW TIRES for 100 buks...

There is a code on the side of your Transforce tires.

Who makes this Tire anyway? - Tire Identification

The chart above is a little old, and the date code explanation doesn't apply.
